    2 days ago | inews.co.uk | George Simms

    A year late, and all the better for it, Leeds United returned to the Premier League with a nerveless procession which descended into a Yorkshire bacchanal. Leeds manager Daniel Farke insisted the short-term priority was “beer after beer, champagne after champagne”, but it is impossible not to consider the reality of returning to the top flight.

  • I went to Leicester's relegation game - and saw a club that's stopped caring

Yet no goals since 14 January – 1145 on-pitch minutes – has attracted a gleeful pile-on. Ignoring penalties, his expected goals (xG) for this season is actually higher than last (12.6 to 11.1), despite the drought. He has created more big chances in 2024-25 (20 to 17) but also missed more (13 to 7).

A piece from Leicester yesterday, where it's hard to find anyone who really still cares at any level... Trust and hope is gone, and every chance the Championship isn't as much fun as last time #LCFC https://t.co/AubujTnUQ7
